@Kenzie3310 @morganw_txst 100% I can not agree more. When teachers and other educators start to divide a classroom and give more attention to certain groups of students, rather it be by performance, gender, or race. That is where we begin to see issues in our classrooms #3310TXST

This is a great tool to use when thinking of ways to begin how to be equitable in your future classrooms. #3310TXST https://t.co/JZ9E1ReA63

Take a look at this blog written by Brian Soika. That provides 7 ways to make classrooms more equitable. #3310TXST https://t.co/80GBcYHSod

@Kenzie3310 Hey Kenzie, thank you so much for providing this article. I took a look at it and I think there are some very interesting and important points that were said. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

One teaching philosophy that I truly resonate with is the idea of progressivism. Because I feel is important that students understand that they have a place in the classroom and that they can sometimes have say in their education #3310TXST

@teacherpaytonjo I really like the quote that you stated here. I can not stress enough how important it is for teachers to understand that all students are different and it is important as future teachers that we learn to embrace diversity #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@Ms_Shoemake I completely agree with you Lauren. I think it important for teachers to look into different teaching philosophies so that they can find one that works best for them. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

Schools should be a place where students are able to practice freedom of speech and feel comfortable enough to do so. Students should be able to voice their opinions as they may bring up points that others may have not considered. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@MissDeandraa I completely agree, it is important for students to understand that they can be heard and that they should voice their opinions or questions because it may bring new informative information into the conversation #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@ChesneyWiseley I totally agree. I don’t think we as teachers or students should have to sacrifice their beliefs or rights for our education #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

As educators we should be able to connect with our students on a personal level in order to help them feel like they are comfortable in our classrooms. I think it is possible that when students feel like they are welcome there is a higher possibility of success. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@ReannaG20 I think that it is important as teachers that we should be willing to get to know our students on a deeper level then academics. By doing this we are able to creat a more welcoming and comfortable setting in our classrooms #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@MissDeandraa This is such a great point that you have brought up here. There are many times as educators where we may have a lesson plan in mind, where we may need to edit a lesson in order to ensure that every student is comprehending the information. We have to be able to adapt. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

I believe that as educators it is important for us to be prepared for any different types of learners that may present themselves in our classrooms. I found this article that describes different ways that teachers can be inclusive to all learners.#3310TXST https://t.co/vytZyHFxHj

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@SMRauschuber Oh no goodness, I completely agree with you. I definitely feel that it is important for us as educators to know what modifications to instruction are needed when we are presented with a disability to ensure a well-rounded education.

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@ChesneyWiseley Hey Chesney I just wanted to say that I think this quote is amazing. It really sums up one of the major reasons that equality in education is so important.

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

In my personal experience on Twitter there has been so many opportunities for me to make connections in the educational world. Where I am able to take things that highly experienced teachers have described and incorporate them into my thinking and teaching methods. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

The gender gap among teacher is one thing that I understand but don’t think it is justified. As educators when thinking about placement or raises, we should focus on qualification not gender. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@BaileyBeal_ I definitely agree there is this sense that because there is a man present in the kid field then he should be treated better. But we should focus on qualification not gender. #3310TXST

[BrookeReddingTXST @BrookeTxst]

@Ms_Shoemake This is one reason why I love ursine Twitter. There are so many ways to get connected with people in your chosen field and it is a great way to pull what other people have experienced into our teaching philosophy
